Anti-Doping Policy

RACT operates under Rowing Australia’s Anti-Doping Policy. RA is committed to the principals of anti-doping and the fundamental rationale for the World Anti-Doping Code (the Code) and FISA‘s anti-doping rules which state that: “doping is fundamentally contrary to the spirit of sport, the principal of fair play, medical ethics and can be harmful for the health of the athletes.”

RACT’s Anti-Doping Officer is Deb Styman
